Socket Diff Scans API

Compute and inspect diff scans between two full scans — the engine that powers Socket's pull-request comments. Identifies added, removed, and modified dependencies with their security implications. Returns added/removed alerts in JSON or GFM markdown. Diff scans can be created from full-scan IDs or from a target repo branch.
